Garden Law Discussion

Thank you for your replies, but, I must add, I am a little surprised that someone can come along, and break ancient party wall laws; and excavate heavy original boundaries markers and in the process, damage property belonging to innocent neighbours, its a throw back to feudal times, when different ...

following.....as I have a neighbour that thinks like this.

People are not legally allowed to block a "Right of Way". Vehicles can only be parked there temporarily - to "load or unload" people or goods. I would have thought this lane comes under that heading.

Now wondering if Mr Sheen is Sprocker's nfh.

Perhaps it's more about trying to predict what the neighbours will actually do rather than what they're legally entitled to do. You mean like call the police and claim criminal damage? LOL - and, by now, it does rather look like it would serve OP right if they did so too. He seems to be determined ...

Once again thank you for your interest and reply Idefixuk. I don't think it is practical or pleasant to drive along right next to the Houses. As you say that's a historical artefact for whatever reason. I have read that rights of way do not include verging rights which is the right to overhang the ...

- One thing I couldnt make out from all this - was this passageway pretty much the way it looks now at the time you bought your house? = was your house accessible by car on that ROW at the time you bought your house? Can you give us the date of your purchase?

Tried sending you a private message with a query re sewers under communal land.

Not sure if I've managed to send it okay? Hope it gets through to you okay.

It's my understanding that even legitimate users of ROWs aren't allowed to change the surface to be of a different description - so even one of the 3 houses legitimately using the ROW couldnt have changed the surface from cobblestones to concrete without consent from the other two. I'd have fired of...

1. Does she or doesnt she actually own the passageway? It sounds as if she doesnt. If she doesnt own it - then she has no legal right to grant anyone else a "Right of Way" over it and he couldnt legally use it anyway. A letter from a solicitor to Mr X should say words to the effect of "As I don't ow...

Does this mean the part of the shed that is over 2.5m high mustn't be within the 2m, or does it mean that no part of the shed can be within 2m of the boundary? Hi John P, My understanding is that if a shed is more than 2.5m high, at any point, then no part of the shed may be less than 2m from the b...

Just come back to this thread. Fingers crossed all is still quiet on the western front. Imo one almost gets a mild form of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) after an episode battling neighbours - even if all is resolved. I'd just "give it time" and your frazzled nerve ends will settle back down.

Problem is when those "few" instances occur they cause a lot of distress Do suggest what anyone is supposed to do about Treesurgeons who leave a huge mess on the neighbours spotless garden Or what anyone is supposed to do when a neighbour constantly nibbles away at every inch of anything that cross...

Surely not "flytipping" - just a case of putting THEIR property back onto THEIR land.
